U.S. Space & Rocket Center spokesman Tim Hall said the
cost of admission today is $10 to reflect the temperature of 10 degrees at 9
a.m., according to a forecast from The Weather Channel. The standard admission price to the state-funded space attraction is $20.

Hall said the response to the promotion has been positive so
far.

"We printed 100 tickets and we just ordered another 100," he said. "People
lined up to get into the Space Center for $10. They are still buying tickets. And
since they can pre-buy, some folks are buying to use for another date."

The discounted admission price, which is available until 5 p.m. at the ticket desk or by calling, cannot be combined with other discounts, and
movies and the NASA bus tour will cost extra.

A news release said there is no limit on how many tickets can be purchased
and they must be used between by March 2.
